“Full House” actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are set to plead guilty in their college admissions scandal case, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The couple, who were arrested in March 2019 and pleaded not guilty the following month, are accused of paying $500,000 disguised as a donation in order to get their two daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella, into the University of Southern California.

Loughlin would serve two months in prison and Giannulli would serve five months under their plea agreements, if approved by a judge.

“Under the plea agreements filed today, these defendants will serve prison terms reflecting their respective roles in a conspiracy to corrupt the college admissions process and which are consistent with prior sentences in this case," U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling said in a statement.

"We will continue to pursue accountability for undermining the integrity of college admissions.”

The plea agreement, if approved, would also see Loughlin pay a $150,000 fine and face two years of supervised release, as well as 100 hours of community service.

Giannulli would face a $250,000 fine, 250 hours of community service and two years of supervised release.
